Above the gray fog

Lin Shan listened to the girl's screams until the night of this world. Through the fist-sized window, he vaguely saw a purple moon.

This was the first time he saw the moon in the abyss. The purple light made this strange city even more mysterious.

"Ah~" The girl in the cage next to him yawned, "It's another beautiful day."

She looked at Lin Shan, "Let's go out and talk."

As soon as the words fell, the two disappeared from their original places and appeared on the street outside.

The city at night was shrouded in purple moonlight, and the buildings on both sides of the street emitted a strange light under the reflection of the moonlight.

There were few pedestrians on the street, but every pedestrian exuded a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and the red street lights illuminated the path ahead, as if guiding them to an unknown future.

"Are you looking for me?" the girl asked.

"Yeah." Lin Shan nodded.

"It's really strange. I don't think I have ever met you?" The girl licked her lips.

"Now I have it." Lin Shan answered calmly and seriously.

"Interesting soul? No, there is a taste of boredom in your blood. This must be your disguise." The girl said to herself.

"My name is Naiyi." The girl made a strange tone. This is her name.

"Lin Shan." Lin Shan reported her name.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Naiyi looked at Lin Shan, as if he was suppressing something.

Lin Shan was not polite and took out a crystal card, "Do you know this?"

Naiyi looked at the crystal card curiously, frowning slightly, "What is this, can I eat it?"

Seeing her like this, Lin Shan guessed that she was probably not pretending.

"You came to me just to ask what this card is?" Naiyi widened his eyes.

"Yeah." Lin Shan nodded.

"Do you know who I am?" Naiyi widened his eyes again, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

"I don't know." Lin Shan looked straight into her eyes, "If you don't know, I'll ask someone else."

With that, Lin Shan turned and left.

"Wait!" Naiyi chased after him.

The two came to a wasteland.

The wasteland was overgrown with weeds, and it was quiet and silent, with only the sound of the wind and the occasional roar of beasts from afar.

"Why are you following me?" Lin Shan frowned and looked back at Naiyi who was following behind him.

"I'm very interested in you. Where are you from?" The girl kept licking her lips, trying her best to suppress a certain desire.

"The scale above." Lin Shan pointed at it, "Don't follow me if you have nothing to do."

"I know what the card you just took is. I lied to you if you said I didn't know." Naiyi suddenly said.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Then tell me." Although Lin Shan didn't quite believe it, he could listen.

"Answer me a few questions first."

"You ask."

"Is the scale above you mentioned the previous scale?"

"Yes."

"The purpose of coming down is just to ask about this card?"

"Yes."

"It's really crazy, but I like it very much." Naiyi couldn't hide his excitement, "Be my partner, I can let you drink my blood every day, and I will only give it to you from now on."

Drink blood?

Lin Shan frowned, ignored her, and flew straight to the next civilized gathering place.

Nai Yi followed him all the time.

A few months later, Lin Shan found traces of a large civilization again.

There was no city here, but a gathering place on a wasteland.

The buildings were simple, all low houses built with discarded materials and mud.

The air was filled with the smell of decay and filth, and the ground was full of garbage and debris.

Compared with the city just now, the area of ​​this gathering place is more than a thousand times larger. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a large country.

Lin Shan appeared in a narrow alley, where a skinny old man was squatting on the ground, searching for food in the garbage with his hands.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were empty, and there was a sense of despair and helplessness in his eyes.

Not far away, a young child stood barefoot in the alley full of sewage, holding a broken stick in his hand, looking at the leftovers thrown from the high wall.

His eyes were full of hunger and desire, but he didn't dare to go forward to fight for it.

Lin Shan walked to a dilapidated shantytown again and saw several people surrounding a woman, punching and kicking her.

The woman was covered with scars, curled up on the ground, and kept moaning in pain.

Those people had cruel smiles on their faces, as if they were enjoying the pleasure of this sadomasochism.

"What are you looking at?" Nai Yi's voice sounded behind Lin Shan.

"Nothing." Lin Shan said without turning his head, "I'm looking for a strong man."

"You have a good eye, these people are indeed strong." Nai Yi nodded in agreement, "I'm not as good as them."

"?" Lin Shan had a question mark on his head, not understanding what she was talking about.

"Where are the strong?" Lin Shan looked back at her.

"Them." Nai Yi pointed to the woman who was beaten with scars all over her body, then to the little boy with eager eyes, and finally to the old man with wrinkles on his face.

"Aren't these all? You think so too, right?" Nai Yi saw that Lin Shan's eyes were also a little more confused.

Hearing this, Lin Shan's brain worked quickly. After thinking for a few seconds, he roughly came to the conclusion: the strong man in Nai Yi's cognition was different from the strong man in his cognition.

He had asked Naiyi if she was the strongest person there, and she admitted it, but the essence of her admission was that she thought she was the one who suffered the most in that city.

Therefore, Naiyi's cognition was that the more suffering a creature suffered, the stronger it was.

Lin Shan knew that it was difficult to communicate with her, so he ignored her and continued to capture the faint powerful aura.

Although the abyss looked shabby and there was no powerful civilization, there were many real strong people.

Naiyi next to him was a real strong person close to the king level. If Lin Shan did not use some trump cards, he might not be able to beat her.

Fortunately, she was not aggressive, but after all, she was an abyss creature, and Lin Shan did not want her to follow him.

He continued to track the faint powerful aura and finally came to a tent-like building.

After thinking about it, Lin Shan walked in directly.

In the tent was an extremely old man, surrounded by several children.

He looked like an ordinary old man, but in essence he was a king-level strong man.

The environment in the tent was very simple, with worn-out straw mats on the ground, several pottery bowls with missing corners on a table made of several stones, and a human arm that had not been eaten yet on a plate.

The old man looked at Lin Shan first, and then at Nai Yi.

Perhaps thinking that he was looking for trouble, the old man exuded a dangerous aura.

"I just came to ask a few questions, I don't mean anything else." Lin Shan said softly, his eyes calm.

The old man's eyes flickered, and the dangerous aura was slightly restrained, but he still maintained his hostility, "Who are you? What do you want to ask?"
